How can I defeat Commander Luciax (npc lev 48), but I can not win against Malfunct Probe (npc lev 43). It seems as though there is something wrong with some of the assualt list. Just wondering, thanks.

Skippy, it would seem that the devs ported over some PE code. You will notice that the NPC's have toughened up a bit. Also new attack caps are in place. You can no longer attack players far weaker than you without a bounty link.
